It's (for me anyway) probably the easiest thing you forget when writing. I plan on putting up a big poster right above my desk, saying: “Show, don’t tell!”

I have probably 40 variants and am still trying to find ways to describe who the character is, what the conflict is, what the major theme is, and keep it around 15-20 words. I agree however with the above post... show, don't tell! That's what I'm really trying to do. This truly is an art. I wish you luck friend! -Dave Chris,
